Remember, he was the reason why the Thunder beat the Mavs and especially Spurs during that same playoff run.
No superstars in the league right now. Closest thing we have is Lebron. If we are talking about of all time....then MJ, Kobe, Bill Russell, Hakeem, Shaq, Lebron.
To compensate for his historically bad defense, Harden would have to score at least 30 pts a game to be considered a superstar.
Whatever his defensive ability may be, he is an elite shot creator in this league, and that alone is enough to make you a superstar.
Wow. This one statement tells me all I need to know. Only a fan of teams that are currently winning, or win the majority of the time. Gotcha.
This is a great example of why I keep calling this debate too subjective to prove either way. This poster doesn't think Lebron is a superstar. Other posters count Chris Paul as a superstar. Everyone has their own definition, and until they make a "superstar" team official there's no clear right or wrong answer here.
Until he has a decent defense and play the team game, he's just a super iso player on the offensive side.
So which is it? Your statement about not reading forums of teams that are perennial losers suggests that you don't root for losing teams (front runner). Now you tell us that you were a die hard Lions fan, which suggests you either lived in Detriot, were a huge Sanders fan, or had some other tie to the team. I'm not saying any of that is wrong, but it absolutely makes a difference to most people. If you just hate the Texans, fine. But that line infers a lot more than that.
Yeah look at how well Jordan's done in Charlotte. GOAT on the court not in judging players. His ego won't let him give credit to someone who can really challenge him for GOAT status anyways.
To be honest the Hornets are starting to shape up. Vonleh was a good pick I believe. Kemba/Stephenson/MKG/Zeller/Jefferson. They have something to build on.
They actually do have an interesting team to put out there now so I guess you could say he's improving. But he's made some incredibly bad moves during his tenure. And if he quit right now you'd have to grade it a big failure.
